Ria Khanna

Profile description

If you have been taken into custody in Chandigarh and are worried that the clock is ticking on your freedom, the first question is often how to obtain or protect bail. Ria Khanna, a seasoned criminal lawyer practicing before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, understands the urgency that surrounds every bail application. The lawyer knows how a delay can affect employment, family responsibilities, and the ability to prepare a defence, and therefore moves quickly to assess the facts and recommend the strongest bail strategy.

Ria Khanna regularly assists clients with regular bail, interim bail, and default bail matters. Whether you are seeking the initial release pending trial or need a short‑term stay of surrender while new evidence emerges, the lawyer evaluates the court’s expectations and tailors the petition to meet them. When a lower court orders bail cancellation, Ria Khanna can file a prompt bail cancellation review, arguing why the original conditions remain appropriate or why the cancellation would cause undue hardship. The advocacy combines thorough legal research with clear, compelling narration of personal circumstances, aiming to convince the Punjab and Haryana High Court that freedom pending trial serves the interests of justice.

Complex criminal cases often require more than a bail application. Ria Khanna can help when the High Court is reviewing a conviction or sentence on appeal. The lawyer has handled criminal appeals involving serious offences such as NDPS violations, fraud and cheating, and breach of trust. By dissecting the trial record, identifying procedural lapses, and presenting fresh legal arguments, Ria Khanna strives to overturn wrongful findings or secure a reduced sentence. In NDPS defence, the lawyer reviews the nature of the narcotic, the quantity involved, and the chain of custody, seeking to demonstrate insufficient evidence of possession or intent. For fraud and cheating accusations, the lawyer examines financial records, communication trails, and intent, constructing a narrative that challenges the prosecution’s theory. When a breach of trust charge arises from business or partnership disputes, Ria Khanna focuses on contractual nuances and the absence of dishonest intent, aiming to protect reputation and assets.

In today’s digital age, cybercrime allegations can appear suddenly and carry severe penalties. Ria Khanna offers cybercrime defence that covers hacking, phishing, identity theft, and online fraud. The lawyer works with forensic experts to trace digital footprints, questions the admissibility of electronic evidence, and argues gaps in the prosecution’s chain of proof. When a client’s liberty is threatened by unlawful detention, Ria Khanna can file a habeas corpus petition, demanding the court examine whether the detention complies with constitutional safeguards. The lawyer presents a concise factual matrix and legal basis, urging the Punjab and Haryana High Court to intervene promptly.

Across every matter, the lawyer follows a client‑centric approach. Ria Khanna begins with a clear explanation of the legal landscape, outlines realistic options, and keeps the client informed at each procedural step. The lawyer prepares meticulous documents, coordinates with investigators, and appears before the High Court with confidence and respect for judicial time. By combining strategic thinking with vigorous representation, Ria Khanna aims to protect freedom, challenge unjust convictions, and mitigate the impact of criminal charges. If you face bail issues, an appeal, or a specialised defence in Chandigarh, a consultation with Ria Khanna can clarify the path forward and set a robust defence in motion.
